Barrel

Firing bets on consecutive streets, e.g. double or triple barreling.

In depth

In poker, a barrel refers to betting on consecutive streets, such as double or triple barreling. It involves maintaining aggression across multiple postflop rounds, extending a continuation bet into a sustained pressure sequence rather than isolated single-street bets. This term highlights the continuity of betting action from one street to the next.
